Framed if you prefer a framed look, or as is. I understand it is the fashion these days to hang canvases unframed, mostly?

Oh did you ever read the history of Paris Green which Van Gogh used quite frequently?

Even today when I go to the museum and see his work, I see that shocking green color which can not be reproduced by the pigments we have today. We can get something a little bit like it but not that glowing, surreal, shocking green color. It’s beyond fluorescent somehow, hard to describe unless you have seen his paintings up close. Have you seen some of his work in real life?

Anyway, wonderful work, keep it up! 👍👏👏👏

I live in Detroit and am proud to say our museum was one of the first, if not THE first one the country to purchase one of his paintings. They had a huge retrospective of his work last year. It was amazing. And to think he did all that work over just a ten year period. And I think he died at 30! Such a loss. who knows what he would have accomplished if he lived longer.
